My name is Alice Allen, and I will be your guide through Seneca County. While I do not live in Seneca County, I hope that I can help you locate your ancestors who were once here.
Located in the northwestern part of Ohio, Seneca County was
formed in 1820 from Huron County. It's county seat is Tiffin, and it is
home to Heidelberg College. It is our plan to make this into a location
where you can find information and resources for your genealogical
research. We hope you enjoy your visit and will find something you can
use. Be sure to visit us often, as we will be updating and adding to
our resources. If you have any non-copyrighted records (wills,
obituaries, etc.) that you would like to contribute, please contact me
by copying this email address
dcaallen @ pacifier.com
in the "to" line of your email program or template. Be sure to
delete the spaces between "dcaallen" and the @ sign, and the @ sign and
"pacifier.com.
Please note, I do not live in Ohio and do not have access to many records from Ohio. Check out the Seneca County links (including the Seneca Co. Archives) listed below. Still can't find what you need? The mailing address for the nty and may be able to help you. And don't forget to check the "Lookups" page.**
Seneca
Co. chapter of the OGS is listed at the
bottom, along with the courthouse's mailing address. And you can join
the OHSENECA-L mailing list (instructions are also below) and possibly
receive help that way. Several members of this list own Seneca County
publications or live in Seneca Cou**Important Notice**
Rootsweb's
Sites are currently down. I am working to get all the Seneca County
links that were on Rootsweb transferred over, and may have missed
some. You will notice some categories which have a "link
currently unavailable" notation. These are other people's files which
were donated to us in the past, that are currently on Rootsweb. The
active link will be restored as soon as I can locate a new link, or as
soon as Rootsweb restores their sites, whichever comes first.
Thanks
for your patience!

I do not live in Ohio, so am unable to do personal research for you. I suggest that you try one or more of the following resources in obtaining help for your family:
1. Check the Lookups page, perhaps someone has access to the records you need.
2. Join the OHSENECA-L mailing list. Several members of the list are either residents of Seneca County, or have records they can check for you.
3. Leave a query on the Query page (above) or the Message Boards for Seneca County.
